Chapter 642 An aura of pressure comparable to that of the Minister's mansion! The mysterious bu
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhe's vision immediately cleared up.
The guard makes a good point!
As night falls, send cavalry to launch a surprise attack on Zhao Yun below the city; we'll catch him completely off guard!
"Hmph, let that old Zhao Yun gloat a little longer."
"Archers, keep firing! It doesn't matter if you miss the banner; the main thing is to intimidate that old Zhao Yun!"
Lu Zhe waved his hand dismissively.
The archers took their positions.
The Lu family, the leading aristocratic family in Youzhou, displayed its immense wealth and power at this moment.
Of course, compared to the Tianlong family next door, they are still considered country bumpkins.
but.
Before long, this wealth will no longer belong to them.
Along with all the remaining forces in Ji and You provinces, they will be completely wiped out!
Arrows flew like they were free, heading straight for Cao Cao's camp not far away.
Zhao Yun and Cao Cao's soldiers, however, remained completely calm.
They were outside the range of the arrows; they could simply treat the arrows shot down from the city walls as background music.
Moreover, under the cover of arrows, Zhao Yun devised a plan.
He pretended to send a shield bearer forward to block the view of the soldiers on the city wall.
Behind the shield bearers, a rather cunning plan was quietly brewing.
"Wow, is Uncle Zilong really that bad?"
Zhang Hu and Le Chen whispered to each other.
"These are all valuable lessons from the battlefield, memorize them quickly!"
Xu Gai was much smarter; he focused intently on memorizing Zhao Yun's plan.
Seeing this, Zhang Hu and Yue Chen quickly adopted a humble attitude and began to learn from Zhao Yun.
……
Night falls.
Lu Zhe's lips curled up slightly, like a crooked-mouthed war god, as if he anticipated that he would soon show off and be humiliated, becoming famous throughout the world.
"Cavalry soldiers, listen to my command!"
"The heavy responsibility of crushing that old scoundrel Zhao Yun's camp rests on your shoulders!"
Standing behind Lu Zhe were four thousand cavalrymen.
Youzhou itself was a famous horse-producing area at the end of the Han Dynasty, so it was not difficult for a powerful family like the Lu family to acquire a batch of warhorses.
These four thousand cavalrymen were Lu Zhe's most expensive and elite troops!
They were fully prepared and their spirits were high.
"Hmph! Zhao Yun, you old scoundrel, prepare to die!"
To ensure the stealth of the night raid, Lu Zhi even omitted the step of sounding the attack horn.
The city gate slowly opened.
The white snowflakes were still falling.
But Lu Zhe seemed to hear the echoes of victory.
He stood atop the city wall, ready to witness the impending great victory!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sound of horse hooves sounded.
Snowflakes scattered and flew in all directions under the trampling of warhorses.
"kill!"
Lu Zhe's four thousand iron cavalry, carrying a strong wind, charged towards Cao Cao's camp not far away.
Closer and closer, the four thousand iron cavalry could even hear the footsteps and voices of Cao Cao's army.
Suddenly, a commotion louder than thunder arose.
"Puff! Puff!"
One cavalryman after another fell into the pit.
The pit was filled with extremely sharp bamboo tips!
You'll die the moment you land!
Blood was spilled on the earth, staining the surrounding ground red.
"not good!"
"It's an ambush!"
Lu Zhe on the city wall broke through the defenses instantly.
The long-awaited resounding victory did not materialize.
On the contrary, he witnessed the annihilation of his own cavalry!
Apart from pitfalls.
Not far away, Zhang Hu, Le Chen, and Xu Gai were already directing their archer units to launch a deadly attack on Lu Zhe's cavalry, as if shooting at live targets!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The arrows fell, accompanied by the shouts of soldiers and the mournful neighing of warhorses.
"No!"
Lu Zhe stood on the city wall in despair, stretching out his large hand.
But how could a decisive general like Zhao Yun allow these four thousand cavalrymen to escape back?
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cao's army launched a surprise attack, annihilating the four thousand cavalrymen with lightning speed!
Even heaven and earth fell silent!
"Ah!"
Le Lin raised his middle finger, provoking Lu Zhe on the city wall.
"Damn it! I'm going to kill him!"
In a fit of rage, Lu Zhe even considered sending his entire army out of the city to fight Zhao Yun to the death.
Fortunately, the heads of the noble families around him persuaded him, which stopped Lu Zhe from his rage.
But Lu Zhe still felt that he had completely lost face and dignity.
Enraged, he sent out a row of loud-voiced strongmen to unleash a torrent of nonsense at Zhao Yun below the city.
"Zhao Yun, you old scoundrel!"
“I, Lu Zhe, am putting my words here.”
"Want Jicheng? Not a chance!"
"Not only will I not hand over the city to you, but I will also take your head!"
As soon as he finished speaking, time seemed to stand still for a second.
Zhang Hu, Le Chen, and Xu Gai stared at each other, wide-eyed.
The look in their eyes revealed:
"Are there really such reckless people in the world?"
Turning to look at Zhao Yun again, one could see that the expression on Zhao Yun's face was no longer discernible as joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
But the distance between his palm and the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear seemed to have gotten much closer.
If it were Su Yu or Cao Cao, who knew Zhao Yun well, they would immediately understand that Zhao Yun was angry!
Moreover, the only way to quell this anger is to kill the person who made the outrageous remarks.
"Zhang Hu, Yue Lin, Xu Gai, don't blame Uncle Zilong for not reminding you."
"I'm going to have Lu Zhe's head!"
"None of you should try to take it from me."
Zhang Hu, Le Chen, and Xu Gai instantly became as docile as cats.
If their intuition was correct, they had just felt a pressure that seemed to rush straight to the top of their heads!
To date, I have only experienced such oppression when I accidentally wandered into the vicinity of the Minister's residence!
Besides the Minister's residence, this is the place.
"Well then, may Lu Zhe have good luck."
Zhang Hu, Yue Chen, and Xu Gai silently prayed for blessings from the spot where Lu Zhe was located on the city wall.
I hope that in his next life, Lu Zhe will never act so recklessly as he did today!
……
The night passed quietly.
Lu Zhe was unaware that the time left for his head to remain attached to his neck was already counting down!
In the morning, Zhao Yun officially gave the order to launch an attack on Ji City.
Looking down at the city, Cao Cao's army, which roared like a tidal wave, was clearly only 15,000 strong, yet they fought with the momentum of 150,000.
The heads of the noble families beside Lu Zhe all showed fear on their faces.
Of course, the aristocratic families of Youzhou were not as flexible in their moral bottom line as those of Bingzhou.
They are already tied to Lu Zhe and Ju Zonghuaxin; a victory would be a tremendous achievement.
If you lose, surrendering might also result in death.
Therefore, for a moment he was just afraid, and he didn't have the idea of tying up Lu Zhe and sending him to Zhao Yun.
Lu Zhe, who had just made some outrageous remarks last night, looked excited and was ready to give the attacking Cao army a good beating!
